yes, but they are the same as in Samba. Anyway - as fare as I know - this would not matter, because Cups only communicates to Samba on the same machine via the loopback interface and/or(?) a socket and not with the clients. Furthermore the error message comes from "lib/access.c:check_access", which is part of Samba.
